Research in Psychology
Walter Miles and his research on low dose alcohol (1914–1924)
During his tenure (1914-1922) as a research scientist at Boston's Carnegie Nutrition Laboratory, Walter Miles (1885-1978) conducted important and methodologically sophisticated experiments on the psychological effects of low dose (2.75% by weight) alcohol. The research was important because it represented a shift in strategy away from examining the effects of large amounts of alcohol to determine the consequences of alcohol intoxication. Although…
Using history to strengthen a research methods course
Teaching about small N designs is a common element of the modern research methods course. Further, these designs are the central feature of courses in applied behavior analysis and an important part of any course in counseling or clinical psychology. The history of these small N designs typically is traced no further than the work of B. F. Skinner, who argued strongly for a philosophy of science grounded in the in-depth study of individuals behav…
The 1928 Carlisle conference
In late March 1928, 32 experimental psychologists met in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The National Research Council (NRC) sponsored the conference, which was organized by Knight Dunlap, chair of the NRC's Division of Anthropology and Psychology. The purpose of the Carlisle conference was to examine the status of experimental psychology, and Dunlap used it to propose a national laboratory for psychology, to be created in Washington, DC. This vision cla…
Reorganizing the experimentalists
The "Experimentalists," created by E. B. Titchener in 1904, experienced growing pains and other stresses in the 1920s, raising concerns about its future. Those concerns became acute with Titchener's death in 1927. At the 1928 meeting, several "elders," hoping to maintain the group's vigorous advocacy of basic research in the positivist tradition, formed a reorganization committee of 5. The committee expanded to 15, 10 of whom met the following ye…
In Hall's shadow
Edmund C. Sanford of Clark University had earned a reputation by the end of the nineteenth century as a leading American psychologist. He had written the first training manual for experimental psychology and created numerous pieces of laboratory apparatus. He was also editor of the American Journal of Psychology and a charter member of the American Psychological Association. Although his peers elected him to the presidency of the APA in 1902, his…
On the origins of Titchener's experimentalists
E. B. Titchener's Society of Experimentalists was founded in 1904, partly as a result of Titchener's personal conflicts with certain members of the American Psychological Association and partly out of his frustration over the structure and content of the Association's annual meeting. However, though Titchener was clearly the prime mover in organizing the experimentalists, the Society's formation reflected the more widespread dissatisfaction of a …
